New role for Natural Killers!
Scientists at the University of York have discovered a new role for a population of white blood cells, which may lead to improved treatments for chronic infections and cancer. view more (2008-08-28)
Stopping germs from ganging up on humans
Keeping germs from cooperating can delay the evolution of drug resistance more effectively than killing germs one by one with traditional drugs such as antibiotics, according to new research from The University of Arizona in Tucson. view more (2008-11-20)
High levels of estrogen associated with breast cancer recurrence
Women whose breast cancer came back after treatment had almost twice as much estrogen in their blood than did women who remained cancer-free - despite treatment with anti-estrogen drugs in a majority of the women -according to researchers in a study published in the March issue of Cancer Epidemiology, Biomarkers and Prevention, a journal of the... view more...

Genetic 'roadmap' charts links between drugs and human disease
A research team led by scientists at the Broad Institute of MIT and Harvard announced today the development of a new kind of genetic "roadmap" that can connect human diseases with potential drugs to treat them, as well as predict how new drugs work in human cells. view more (2006-09-29)
Study shows combination of immune substances to be safe
New research has shown that the immune-stimulating hormone known as interleukin-12 (IL-12) can safely be administered with interferon, another immune-system protein, as an experimental therapy for some cancers. view more (2005-12-12)
True cancer-causing genes revealed by new technique, say Stanford researchers
Often cancer research goes like this: study cancerous cells in a lab dish, find mutations that appear in many of the samples, develop drugs to target proteins made by the mutated genes, and voila, new chemotherapy drugs are born. Or at least that's the hope. view more (2005-06-13)
Shield against assassin`s poison
Just a trace of ricin on the sharpened tip of an umbrella was enough to kill the Bulgarian dissident Georgi Markov, after an infamous attack on London`s Waterloo Bridge in 1978. Now a vaccine against this lethal toxin could soon be available - and it may be needed. "A big stash of ricin was found in the caves of Afghanistan," says Ellen Vitetta of... view more...

Inside job: new radioactive agents for colon cancer work inside cells
Johns Hopkins scientists have developed a potentially novel way to fight colorectal cancer using tiny molecules to deliver potent barrages of radiation inside cancer cells, unlike current treatments that bind to the surface of cells and attack from the outside and cause unwanted side effects. view more (2007-10-10)
Clues to breast cancer hidden inside stem cells
Stem cells and how to boost them is hot on the research agenda. But stopping them could be critical too, as evidence implicating stem cells in cancer is mounting. view more (2006-04-25)
Enzyme may hold key to improved targeting of cancer-fighting drugs
A critical enzyme used to prepare a powerful cancer-killing agent may be able to help drug makers better target the cells the natural product attacks, according to findings published in the May 23 edition of the Journal of Biological Chemistry. view more (2008-05-30)
Study supports DNA repair-blocker research in cancer therapy
Scientists at Dana-Farber Cancer Institute have uncovered the mechanism behind a promising new approach to cancer treatment: damaging cancer cells' DNA with potent drugs while simultaneously preventing the cells from repairing themselves. view more (2009-08-18)
Rheb's role in cancer
Two independent papers in the August 15th issue of G&D identify the Rheb GTPase as a novel oncogene and a promising new chemotherapeutic target. view more (2008-08-15)
Killing Cancer Like a Vampire Slayer
Like vampires, cancer tumors require an ample supply of blood to stay alive. Without fresh blood for sustenance, cancer cells shrivel up like raisins and die. view more (2009-09-18)
X-rays help predict permanent bone damage from bisphosphonates
Breast cancer patients, individuals at risk for osteoporosis and those undergoing certain types of bone cancer therapies often take drugs containing bisphosphonates. view more (2009-05-08)
Researchers uncover how prostate cancer cells defy death
New findings about how prostate cancer cells are able to resist hormone treatment and defy death may lead to more effective drug treatments. view more (2006-07-31)
Serendipity versus planning-cancer drugs of the future?
Delegates at the European Breast Cancer Conference (EBCC-5) were given two examples of promising new drugs to watch in the future-raloxifene and lapatinib. view more (2006-03-27)
Study uncovers mechanism of drug resistance in form of lung cancer
Dana-Farber Cancer Institute researchers and their colleagues have demonstrated that a genetic error so scarce it can't be detected with some standard screening equipment is often responsible for the loss of effectiveness of front-line drugs against non-small cell lung cancer. view more (2006-09-07)
A lethal cancer knocked down by one-two drug punch
In the battle against cancer, allies can come from unexpected sources. Research at The Jackson Laboratory has yielded a new approach to treating leukemia, one that targets leukemia-proliferating cells with drugs that are already on the market. view more (2009-06-08)
Chemotherapy resistance: Checkpoint protein provides armor against cancer drugs
Cell cycle checkpoints act like molecular tripwires for damaged cells, forcing them to pause and take stock. view more (2009-08-28)
Light powered platinum more targeted & 80 times more powerful than similar cancer treatments
Researchers from the Universities of Warwick, Edinburgh, Dundee and the Czech Republic's Institute of Biophysics have discovered a new light-activated platinum-based compound that is up to 80 times more powerful than other platinum-based anti-cancer drugs and which can use "light activation" to kill cancer cells in much more targeted way... view more...
